Making a V-Block.

[Music] [Music] [Applause] when we is down that Texas for the good of the land fest we came back with this hotshot 360 stand from bar Z Industrial he got this one for us it grew up to I believe it was 2000 degrees so we can heat treat at 7:01 a 2 d 2 and actually DC 53 and I've been playing with that a little bit and I can get it into the high 50s but I think that has to have a special cooldown feature on there I'm not sure so out to play with that but anyways it's a got a 6 inch by 6 inch and 10 inch deep so you can do a fairly large part in there and I've been doing a lot of a2 stuff and I've been tweaking that in I got to get the temperatures just right I got some charts but I know I have to play with them to get it right and not only the temperature but the timing this is the faceplate that goes on there spin fixtures made out of a 2 and that's what we just finished doing it got up to about 59 Rockwell which is plenty good for us like I say I'm real close to getting that down pat but what I like is you get that caramelization and you get that on there one you've got to keep the oxygen out and we'll use the stainless steel foil it's mm stick and it's a heat wrap and we'll show some video on how to prepare that as well but anyways this is a nice little oven we're going to be using a lot you'll see in future videos and we can't think stand enough for getting this for us it's going to be a great help we got other products that will be heat treating we got these a little 45 degree templates that the children are making for their own to collections they're working on some 30 60 s as well and some thin ones like that those are all a - I have a lot of rail systems gone faceplate work and it's all a - we've got these little units that will actually they're out a - they'll go on both sides of that unit and the Vblock will right in there and that keeps the Vblock lined up real nice in the one direction and you can adjust it in and out so those are get heat treated as well and then we'll get those all grown up and that will have this oven doing stuff like this is just great that's great to have because you you can get this all done if you got hot jobs emergency jobs or if you just want to do it yourself at home you can save the cost from sending it out bid it works really nice with the controller over here you can set that as a I got software for it on the computer you can download from its site gave Stan a call and he helped me set up the first program and explained all the details on it and it's really nice software I like it you can ramp up to like in this case with a - I'll ramp up to about 1400 degrees and you ramp up slowly let it ramp up for about 20-30 minutes and the reason you do that is if you ramp up too high it actually will stress the part and you can end up with some cracks and everything but once it ramps up to about 1400 what you do at that point and you want to go from 1400 with a - it's about 1750 to 1850 rim height you want to ramp that really quick at that point and then you want to let it soak it's about 20 minute minimum per square inch I think they want on the chart they see 20 to 40 minutes the the thicker the part the bigger the parts are the more time you want to go and so there's formulas all over the internet that you can check into that and give you some ballpark ranges that you can set your timing and everything on so I've done a lot of heat-treat one of the jobs that work but we never had to ramp up we just threw the material in at temperature which you really not supposed to do so this is gonna be a lot nicer a little more learning curve but we really appreciate the oven and I guess they will be using it a lot and again I can't think stand enough for for getting this to us this is a block of a 2 that we're going to be making a V block out of atoms just squared it up on the milling machine and he's got some footage but we're using our new tools that we designed the would like to eat little 45s and straight edges he's got some footage these work with the new jaws that we're making but we just want to show you how square this came out we're going to be using this in d square and we'll get that set this is a 1/10 indicator so from 0 to 1 is a 1 towel and we're within 5/10 on that side and you see that just about perfect right there so you can see that but the farthest we were out is about five tents on one side and that's probably a flatness issue rather than the squareness because on three of these sides it's almost perfect square and again this we're excited about this new product that we got coming out we don't have pricing on it yeah we're still developing some things but it'll make work like this real simple and later on we'll show you how we'll set this up in the vise for cutting the V by using the 45-degree angle on that actually mounting both of those up so they'll stop and make nice stops and we can cut that view good and central without adjusting the head nod or the angle on the head at all it'll work really nice but again it's just really good and accurate really happy with these results this block will be a V block of similar size to this one right here and we'll have it with all the hole patterns in there and this would be a nice addition for the shop as well so this block will eventually look very close to that one okay what we got to do now is when we're going to make this V block of the next stage where you can do if we're going to cut this V in that block but what we're going to do is I'm going to help you so you can lay the salt with scribe lines now to make it a lot easier and faster on cutting up now with this V block we use 1032 screws and we got this spaced out just right so that I can make my strap across there and then I can come over here and I can rub it's setting on this surface without hitting the screw head or that surface so that way I can I can flip stuff over get it nice and central so we're going to have to do the same thing here but because we're going with a quarter 20 rather than 1032 the dimensions will be different plus we got to compensate for the head if you get it if you get this too close to the edge like this will they itself will be sticking out and so we the the screw head on the quarter 20 is the 370 and so what we're going to do we're going to scribe some lines we're going to scrape some lines and at 410 now we mean go 420 but what you do you want to hold and set this first so you wouldn't set it 0 and the line is about 5,000 stick yeah and then what matter in this case because it's a reference but if you're doing something fussy set that so it's about 2 and 1/2 mm something like that before or after the zero and you'll be actually more accurate because you compensate for the line thickness so anyhow that's a hundred thousandth revolution one two three four and you can see fours on the counter and we'll just go 420 so now what you want to do you want to sit this up you want to scribe a line kind of like this get it all the way across that's outside trying to keep it in the camera go ahead flip the block over and get a line on the other side you can move the scriber probably easier yeah you just get kind of internet and go I got an angle ground on there so that you can be right on the point and again this is just for a visual reference when we're cutting this makes it a lot nicer okay and then what we need we need to go for about a half inch on this side as a reference to yeah you don't have to go all the way across just about a half inch yeah flip it upside down and do the other the next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna scrape out the V and there to give us a nice visual one thing that you can do is you can take a 45 line up the lines use the Randy rigid scraper and scrape that on there but one way though I I like to do is I'll just take this strap off and we'll use the V block because it's set at 45 degree angles already too so what you can do is put your Vblock in there bring your scribe tool in though you can do you can just eyeball the line with the ones that we did on the side and then you can come across like so go ahead and flip it over the other way just yeah flip it over that way and Scrabble line and so the nice thing with the V block it makes it nice and central for you check it yeah so so this is basically the V that we have that we'll have in this feed block right here and let's see the reference there so this one we went a little bit steeper what we'll do we'll probably go steeper but we'll just move our holes over so we're gonna go beyond that line there but we're gonna actually we're gonna set the tap holes over and you can see I did this over here you got this edge is closer and there's more meat on that side and then the reason that I've done that is so that we can get a deeper V so we'll do the same thing there but these were just references when we went on there and we'll go from there we'll want the V to be at least the same size as that so we'll go over to the middle and we're gonna show how to use the new tooling that we developed for cutting that V in there well we're going to be using this prototype tooling that we have there's only a few sets made we have the actual original prototype and we got a refine prototype we gave a set to Keith Rucker a set land policy and then we adjust them from good at the land and so we're gonna actually cut the V in the part setting it up with this we're going to have a complete modular system which stops 30 60 degrees rather than just the 45s would have attachments that can go in here we're still developing a lot of this stuff that it's going to be a nice modular set where you can have V blocks angle plates all kind of neat stuff that you'll be able to just attach right to your jaws so I have this one attached already and this one we'll put in here will just light up until it hits the other and what I like to use instead of a hex wrench I like to use a that's a little craftsman ratchet and you can get the little bits and so what I do is I take this first and I just use my fingers and get her started it's nice because you can get in them tight spots real good so I just go in there and get it somewhat take or on the state and then they just taking her down against the jaw so now I got me a V in here and what we can do is we can set the part up so now a part setting in a V and when we tip it the other way it's automatically going to be nice and central and the advantage of using a system like this is you don't have to twist your head you don't have to take the knob and put that at a forty-five you don't have to try to spin it in this direction 245 so you can leave your head alone and in my opinion it's always easier and better if you can put your part in at an angle rather than the head one thing a lot of people don't realize is that you get your Y axes traveling in this direction and so if you turn this head at an angle one of these two ways what's going to happen is if that's not lined up perfect with that Y axes let's just say you're 20 degrees off from your Y axis when you turn this at an angle if you wanted to get a 45 you're not going to have a 45 you're gonna have a compound angle of 20 on the Y and then you're going to have the head turn at 45 so you will not even get a 45 so that's one of the things that you want to be careful if you do turn your head you've got to make sure that this whole Ram is lined up real good with the y axis so I'm not sure the condition of these inserts how good they are and so we're gonna we're going to take a couple cuts and and test it and the one I'm gonna do is I'm gonna make sure that's locked down real good and we're gonna go over here and this is going to throw some chips so you might we're the safety shield that animal ways does because you're gonna be right at eye level [Applause] [Applause] then cut smooth doesn't have we grab the inserts and stop right there these are trigon inserts it's a core lawyer I'm pronouncing the right its each and a half-shell cutter and these are some awesome inserts good wrong direction and the quarrel oi Adam then the other side filming will get the coronoid inserts with the inch-and-a-half cutter what I did I actually made an arbor on here that actually will hold this cutter a lot more rigid than what I can find on the market and I do have some Instagram if you're interested in that I think I might show that on there a little bit more but I could get easy twice two three times the depth of cut using this modified holder I made than what I could for anything that was off the market well let's go another hundred dollar and as as that cut gets wider you're gonna feel it and they handle it's when you're cutting it's going to get tougher so you may have to slow it down a little bit as we get a bigger bite [Applause] these cut with a square shoulder which is nice so they're really great for a project like this where you're roughing everything out they do throw chips so you just want to wear the proper safety equipment you want to cut in the way where you can predict which way the chips are going and position yourself in a different area or heat treat just one off so I'm gonna take care of that just real quick [Applause] and once you sell because this is hot we're using the heat treat oven that we got from Stan a bar Z industrial and I've been playing with it quite a bit this is one of the pieces made out a to that buzzer you just heard it was letting me know that the heat treat was done that this part was finished cooking so that allowed working real nice I can add the oven going in the background and not even have to worry about it while they hear the alarm I know it's ready to pull out of the oven the width of the cut that were taking now almost gonna be one inch wide and so I just want to see what it feels like and why they can push and have Adam maybe you can get your other camera and you can show the digital where we're watching a feat for for the inches per minute on it'll be yeah so if you you've watch over here that will show you the inches per minute that we're getting in Kathy you might want to stand over there [Applause] one hundred thousand depth of cut and you can see how much we've cut already now because the width of the cut is getting greater that it has taken a little more effort when we present take it as much where I was going almost 30 inch of the minute should I get [Applause] [Applause] what we're gonna do is we're gonna hook up the shield now because it's starting to throw some chips just an extra I think it's safety so Kathy you've got to watch it you can see where you're at now you're almost touching that and you'll be out of the cut and so that can be your reference right now okay what we're gonna do is we're going to change the cutter we're going to use this it's a handmade mill tech with the homemade shank that the r8 shank to hold these mill tech insert and in a lot of our longtime followers on instagram and here you know this is my favorite insert very free cutting they last a long time you can get one box those inserts and resharpen them on the hand grinders they just go and cut forever the inserts you can get them in square you can get them in hexagon and round and the one thing that we have we have a number of these cutters the one thing that we do we don't have a square shoulder these inserts are setting at two degrees so we can get close that will finish up with a regular end mill [Applause] so what we're gonna do now is we're going to go ahead what we're gonna do is we're gonna take right now because we got this side I really nice and smooth this sides kind of hacked up on the side what you do now you just take it and make sure everything's nice and clean and we flip it over and because this is stopping within the V that we have set up we should be able to and come across there [Applause] now we just flip it around and we shouldn't make any adjustments on the depth on the Z's and see now we've got a real nice beat cut in there and so our next step will be taking an eighth inch in mil we'll be holding the V like this and I can even just leave those jaws right in at this point go ahead I have I have an eighth inch in mill with the three sixteenths shank to give it some rigidity and we're going to cut a relief down in here so what we did here now we just put this a little notch in there to give it relief I don't have a ball no then mail that size and that would have been a better option to you the ball knows and then you got a little bit more strength anytime you use sharp corners especially when you're heat-treat and stuff it could be bad but we put the relief in there so that if you put a square part in there it's not going to bottom out if it's got sharp corners in there also when you're grinding this now I don't have to come all the way up and touch his face with the side will I'll say I can grind and I can get in that shoulders and so this these surfaces will be nice and flat so this is a V block be working in progress and this will be it for today will will be doing there's a lot more work we got to put a lot of holes in slots everything else and we'll be going showing more on this build in future videos thanks for watching
